This paper takes Guangdong Sea Area as the study area
uses ERA5 reanalysis dataset to analyze the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of wind and wave resources
evaluates the availability
variability and correlation as well as complementary synergies of the two
and assesses and analyzes the potential for joint development of wind and wave resources. The results show that wind and wave resources in Guangdong sea area are relatively abundant
with the maximum annual average power density of wind energy exceeding 800 W/m and the annual average power density of waves mainly ranging from 3 to 12 kW/m; the correlation of wind and wave resources is overall high
and the complementarity of wind and wave resources in near-shore is low
with the complementarity index not exceeding 0.3
and the wind and wave complementarity is enhanced by the increase of the distance from the shore
and the complementary synergistic properties of wind and wave resources in the offshore region can be more than 0.6. Compared with the western part of Guangdong
the wind and wave resources in the eastern part of Guangdong and the southwestern part of Taiwan Strait are more complementary
and the synergistic effect of the two is more obvious
which makes them more suitable for the joint development of wind and wave energy.
